I’m a complete hypocrite.
I said that I was done with sports bikes and bought an Adventure.
Don’t get me wrong, the Africa Twin was an amazing bike but I think I jumped too soon as there is a good few years of sports bikes left in me.
For the first time in a while I properly checked out the other options and test rode the current S1000RR, R1 and GSXR and they’re all great bikes imo but it came down to the R1 and the SP1 and the Blade just ticked all the boxes.
Ballymena Honda gave me a remarkably good trade in deal with the AT too so it all worked out really well.
I managed to get the monotonous 100 mile run in under 5000 RPM completed before the rain today so I’m looking forward to being able to open it up a wee bit more when it dries up again.
The build quality is phenomenal and it feels like a 600.
